First implant story + photos

Hello people!

I just wanted to share my experience with the first implants I’ve had implanted just today :slight_smile:

At first, I was quite confident because you know, I researched everything possible :smiley: And then, of course, an hour before the implantation I was kind of nervous :smiley: But all of that went away the second I met my installer - amazing guy, professional beyond measure :slight_smile:

He installed flexDF2 and NeXT implant. Flex one was done using a scalpel, with enough local anesthesia that I didn’t really feel anything. He even gave me a small shot for the NeXT implant, so…yeah, amazing :smiley: And then he went a step further and gave me a little bonus stitch for it (after he cleaned the cut with a scalpel, as there was some folded skin left from the implantation needle).

Overall it was actually a very cool and comfortable experience, not scary or bad in any way :slight_smile:

For people in Czechia, I can highly recommend this place https://hell.cz (a guy named Šimon). He also travels to Oslo (Norway) every few months and does implantations there.

PS: I already booked a second appointment for the next month so that the left hand isn’t left out :laughing:

Did he install bevel up :arrow_up:

Nope, definitely bevel down. And I’ve discussed with him basically everything here on the forum, quickly showed him some videos, and specifically mentioned bevel down vs up. And to be honest, I think that he noticed the skin only because he made the single suture so that the scar is smaller. It wouldn’t be an issue :slight_smile:

Thanks! I actually already bought the next implants :smiley: It’s VivoKey Spark 2 (already waiting at home) and Walletmor (still waiting for it to be delivered :neutral_face: ). But I must say that if there was an LED option for all implants, I would have all the colors. :rofl: I think I’ll go for some blinkies later :slight_smile:

Are you living in “Praha”

Photos after 11 days after installation:



I just got the FlexDF2 stitches removed (an hour ago). It looks much better in person, the photo is scarier than it really is; it actually heals perfectly fine. I bet in a few days it will look similar to the NeXT implant needle “hole”.

After 45 days, everything heals perfectly fine :slight_smile: I really recommend the scalpel method to anyone who is on the fence; no problems, no pain…everything is just fine :slight_smile:

Oh and also…bodyweight is balanced again :smiley:

(Walletmor and Spark2)

Heck yeah you’re going all in xD

Will you get some magnets?

1 Like

Haha yeah, kinda :smiley: But no, I don’t think that I’ll get a magnet because I don’t like the fact that it would limit me (MRI and similar stuff), and also from what I’ve gathered the “sensing” isn’t as strong/useful as I would want it to be. But who knows, maybe I’ll change my mind in time :slight_smile:

But I’m definitely ordering the Apex when it finally comes out :smiley:
